Abstract
A system for protecting data stored in the cloud includes a computing device that generates a plaintext encryption key and encrypts the plaintext encryption key using a credential of a customer that uses a cloud application. The computing device encrypts plaintext data using the encryption key and forwards the encrypted data to a cloud computer system that hosts the cloud application. The plaintext data can be received from a cloud application client that runs in the computing device or from another computing device that hosts the cloud application client. The encrypted encryption key can be stored in and retrieved from a key server.
